IShowSpeed has achieved his first RIAA Gold certification. His 2022 single “World Cup” was officially certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for 500,000 units in the United States.
The high-energy track, released on November 4, 2022, was created to celebrate the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. It quickly became a global fan favorite, blending Speed’s chaotic viral energy with pure soccer hype. The song has racked up nearly 100 million Spotify streams and over 200 million views on its official music video, while also earning Gold status in Poland and charting in countries including New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
This achievement comes at the perfect moment. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup (hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico) approaching fast, Speed dropped a follow-up single called “World Cup (Champions)” on June 1. The track was added to the official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album, giving him a direct connection to the biggest sporting event on the planet.
